There was also that rumor where it was Capcom who forced NT to make the reboot this hard. Like, originally NT came up with a much more classic-story friendly main character, but Capcom said "no we want to go rad" and NT had to change it. Half of the team was probably swerating bullets once they had to announce the game (goddammit I still remember that announcement and I usually don't) if that was true.

Once again, disclaimer for hearsay. I am really lazy to look up for sources lately am I not.
